2 bullseyes in a row, then blown to smithereens on the Action. I thought the foxing should have cost at least a full point. Speaking for myself, I won't buy a comic with foxing on purpose, and will get rid of it if I get one accidentally. Unless, that is, it is hard to find and out of reach except in low grade.

The foxing thing is still so bewildering. CGC is so far off from where the vast majority of collectors are. It's notable that they were able to shift their stance on tape repairs over time. I wonder if the current leadership still really believes in the 'pretend foxing isn't there' thing, or if it's some variation on 'well we've been doing it this way 25 years so we're kinda stuck with it now'.
